Abborregölen

Character of the water

Abborregölen lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 5 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (13 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing permit required — Abborregölen FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Fishing Abborregölen

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Abborregölen, carried by roach, ruffe and whitefish. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Whoever fishes Abborregölen regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
